Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tap with semi-automatic operation making it possible to deliver a predetermined volume of a pressurized fluid, such a tap finding a preferred (but not limiting) application as a flush valve, for example in toilet facilities
  • reservoirs have been used to store the required amount of liquid, which is released at the appropriate time by opening a valve.
  • the object of the invention is essentially to remedy the drawbacks of the devices of the prior art and to propose a tap of the type considered which satisfies, better than the known devices, the various requirements of the practice and which, in particular, is of design and simple, reliable, inexpensive, safe to operate.
  • the actuating member comprises a valve capable of cooperating with the orifice through which the second link opens into the cylinder and an elastic return member to elastically hold this valve in the closed position.
  • the timer means are associated with the first link and they can comprise a calibrated restriction incorporated in the first link.
  • the timer means are adjustable.
  • a valve according to the invention is simple in design, and therefore inexpensive to manufacture and maintain, it is safe and economical to operate insofar as it is the pressure of the fluid. itself which is used as a motor source. The reliability is high.
  • the direct use of the pressurized fluid makes it possible to obtain the required flushing effect with a smaller quantity of fluid; in particular, in the case of a WC installation, the necessary quantity of water under a dispensing pressure of approximately 3 ⁇ 10 5 Pa to 9 ⁇ 10 5 Pa can be reduced to approximately 3 to 5 liters.
  • the tap shown in this drawing is more specifically intended to be used as a flush valve in a WC installation; but it is understood that a valve according to the invention can find an application in other fields.
  • the tap 1 comprises a pipe 2 for inlet of pressurized water (arrow 3) and a pipe 4 for outlet for pressurized water (arrow 5). These conduits are provided with all appropriate means (for example threads) for connecting the tap, upstream and downstream, with the rest of the installation.
  • the tap 1 further comprises a body or cylinder 6 delimiting a cylindrical interior chamber 7 of which an end wall 8 (bottom wall in the figure) is pierced with an opening 9 making the chamber 7 communicate with the outlet conduit 4.
  • Another opening 10 is made in the side wall of the body 6 to put the chamber 7 in communication with the inlet duct 2.
  • a pipe 12 is made, opening out through an orifice 13 in the chamber 7 and connecting at its other end to the outlet pipe 4.
  • valve 14 integral with a rod 15 passing through the thickness of the end wall 11 and provided, at its free end, with an actuating button 16; an elastic member, such as a helical spring 17, is interposed between the wall 11 and the button 16 to elastically hold the valve 14 in the closed position of the orifice 13.
  • the pipe 12 in its part extending through the bottom 11, is constituted by a bore 18 passing through the bottom 11 right through and from which the remaining portion leaves laterally from the pipe 12 extending to the outlet pipe 4.
  • a threaded housing into which is screwed a plug 19 through which the rod 15 passes, with an O-ring seal 20 enclosing the rod 15 and wedged between the plug 19 and the bottom of the housing.
  • a second pipe 21 extends from the inlet pipe 2 and opens into the chamber 7 in the vicinity of the bottom 11.
  • a timer device constituted by a sleeve 22 tightly engaged (O-rings 23 ) in the pipe 21 and containing a mandrel 24, so as to form a calibrated restriction for the passage of the fluid.
  • a piston 25 capable of sliding in leaktight manner (O-ring 26).
  • This piston supports at its lower part a shutter member 27 arranged to cooperate with the opening 9 ensuring the communication of the chamber 7 and the outlet duct 4.
  • the opening 9 is located in the axis of the chamber 7.
  • the shutter member 27 has a diameter substantially smaller than the diameter of the lower face 28 of the piston, so that, when the shutter 27 is in abutment against the end wall 8 and closes the opening 9, the lower face 28 of the piston 25 still has a free active surface which is significantly less than the surface of the upper face 29 of the piston.
  • the thickness of the shutter member 27 is sufficient so that, in the closed position of the opening 9 shown in the figure, the underside 28 of the piston 25 remains located above the opening 10, so that at least the active surface of said lower face 28 of the piston is permanently subjected to the pressure of the fluid.
  • a filter 30 is provided at the orifice of the inlet duct 2.
  • the operation of the inventive tap is the following.
  • the chamber 7 is itself filled (through the restriction of the pipe 21) with pressurized liquid which keeps the piston 25 and the valve 14 resting on their respective seats. Maintaining these two members in the closed position is further improved respectively by gravity acting on the piston 25 (assuming the valve mounted as shown) and by the spring 17 acting on the valve 14 via the rod 15.
  • valve 14 By pressing the actuation button 16, the valve 14 is lifted from its seat, and the pressurized liquid contained in the chamber 7 flows, via the line 12, towards the outlet which hitherto was empty of any liquid .
  • the filling of chamber 7 via line 21 is very slowed down by the restriction.
  • the active surface of the lower face 28 of the piston is subjected, on the part of the pressurized liquid present in the inlet duct, to an upward force greater than the downward (decreasing) force exerted on the upper face 29 of the piston.
  • the piston is then pushed up sharply, delivering passage to the pressurized liquid which then flows directly from the inlet to the outlet via the opening 10, the bottom of the chamber 7 and the opening 9.
  • the piston 25 is therefore returned to its lower position for closing the opening 9 with a relatively low speed, in other words at the end of a time interval determined by the restriction.
  • the actuation of the tap caused the flow of a certain volume of water, determined by the value of the restriction.
  • valve according to the invention therefore allows the direct use of a pressurized liquid, without the need for a regulator, which makes it possible to obtain the desired flushing effect while using only the volume of liquid strictly necessary. (for example from 3 to 5 liters of water for a WC installation, instead of 10 liters with installations fitted with a tank).
  • the structure of the valve of the invention is simple and inexpensive and the adjustment of the restriction can be carried out easily by simple exchange of the mandrel 24.
  • it is easy to provide adjustment means accessible from the outside and allowing a in situ adjustment by the user.
